PRESS FOR REMOVING BUSHING AND THE LIKE.

T 0 aZZ whom it may concern: v

e it known that I, Josnrrr H. a citizen of the United useful Press for Removing Bushings and the like, of which the following is a specification. g

This invention relates to tools, and more particularly to a tool used for removing or displacing bushings, from their supports.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a device of this character in the form of a press, for gradually forcing the bushing from the seat, thereby eliminating the necessity of hammering the bushing, which hammering often results in breaking the support, or arm, in which the bearing is mounted.

A still further object of to provide a device of this character which will force the bushing from its support, and deposit the same on the ground, or floor directly under the tool, obviating the necessity, of removing the bushing from the tool.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will the invention is scribed and claimed, it

being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made Within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the inven tion.

Referring to the drawings Figure 1 illustrates a side elevational view of a bushing press, constructed in accordance with the present invention.

Fig. 2 illustrates a sectional view taken on line 22 of Fig. 1.

aving reference to the drawing in detail, the reference character 10 indicates the body of the press, which is formed of cast iron, or other suitable cast material, and includes the upper arm 11, extending at right angles to t e upper portion of the body 10, and provided with the threaded opening 12, intermediate its length, and extending throughout the width, or thickness of said arm 11.

Formed integral with the lower portion Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed August 11, 1919.

of the body 10, of the tool, is the right angle arm 13 tlSO provided with an opening 14 extending therethrough, sai opening 14 having a recessed portion 15, forming the e hereinafter more fully described.

The power element, of th thereby forcing an article, engaged by the lower end of the reduced po'rtion l7 through said opening 14, where the same is deposited or released from its connection with the As shown, the reduced portion 17, of the power element, is

provided with a reduced end section 18, which is of a slightly less thanthe diameter of the inteforcing the bushing from its seat.

he upper end of the power element is provided with a head 20, which in turn is provided with a transverse opening 21, the operating lever the ends thereof being flattened to prohoulders 23, to prevent the operating lever 22 from being removed from the opening 21.
